Reading Wine Labels: Australia

This imposing label comes from the
Henschke winery, which as the information near the foot of the label
tells us is located in Keyneton, South Australia. Either
side of the Henschke coat of arms the text tells us that the estate has
been in existence since 1868. The wine here is Mount Edelstone,
coming from the vineyard of the same name, in the 1991 vintage.
This wine is a Shiraz, although the label does not tell us this. The
label proudly declares the wine as Produce of Australia, and also
reassures us that the wine has been Estate vintaged and bottled,
meaning that the wine has been produced and bottled on the estate.
